　　上海新航道随考老师：蒋洋洋等

　　机器设置：台式机，键盘和电脑不算老旧;每人一个两侧带隔板的桌子;考生分为四大组，每组每行2人;整个教室80%以上的上座率，共计40人左右

　　1托福阅读

　　第一篇

　　大意：农业种植和畜牧业的兴起

　　几个理论：1.农业种植和畜牧业兴起是因为人多了，需求高了，但这个理论好像被一些人或者作者本人否决了，因为往往先是农业种植和畜牧兴起，再是人多了(有题);2.另有理论说人们发展种植和畜牧业，放弃四处打猎的生活，主要是由于想将产品用于交易trade，获得盈余(有题)

　　其它重要内容：由trade而发展起来的种植和畜牧业也带来了一定问题(有题)，包括增加人口，分配不均匀等等

　　第二篇

　　大意：在若干条件下，树木会断枝(主要描述树木自己舍弃枝干)

　　重要条件列举：1.某枝干的能量消耗大于支出时;2.需要繁殖(断枝可以生根)时;3.内部腐烂或者极为干燥等等

　　其它重要内容：在断枝之前，树木可能已经在分泌一种东西，以保护即将出现的伤口(有题)

　　第三篇

　　大意：有哪些因素导致地球上诞生了复杂的生命体

　　重要因素：1.地球离太阳的远近正好;2.地球上的原始生命虽然简单，但能制造氧气，支持复杂生命体(有题)

　　其它重要内容：地球早期空气中氧气含量几乎为零，充满了甲烷和二氧化碳等，后来才有了氧气和臭氧层;原始生命在水里是因为在岸上的话容易受到太阳的毒辣照射;火星上有生命的话，也只能是在地下，因为没有类似臭氧层一类的东西来保护生命不受太阳光的损害(有题)

　　2托福听力

　　第一组

　　Conversation:女生告诉老师上次没来上课因为参加了一个debate的活动，很远，是个大型的活动，美国国内好多个队伍都来了，自己这个队得的名次还不错。老师听后表示理解，并让她看看给她的材料，上面有关于上节课的内容。

　　Lecture 1: coral bleaching

　　附百科背景知识介绍：http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coral_bleaching

　　Lecture 2: 某一个怪异的非传统的芭蕾舞首秀(在巴黎)

　　听力提到，观众反应不一，甚至打起来了(有题)，警察来了带走一些人

　　第二组

　　Conversation: 学生找到校报负责老师，向他抱怨一篇近期发表的文章，校报老师说虽然这个文章是可以更好一点(通过更全面的报道)，但是本质上也没问题，如果你有不满，可以自己写一篇文章反击。这个女生是backpacking协会的，她最后要了写文章的那个reporter的联系方式。

　　Lecture 1: 先说火山爆发无法预测，两次爆发的间隔可能很短，也可能很长很长。另外说火山爆发前的四个征兆。

　　背景知识：

　　Before a volcano erupts，there is:

　　(1) normally an increase in earthquakes and tremors near and under the volcano. These are caused by magma (molten rock) pushing upward through the rock under the volcano.

　　(2) The ground may crack open and allow steam to escape. Gases such as carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide, a gas that smells like eggs gone bad, frequently are present and escape in seams along the mountain.

　　(3) Hot springs in the area around the volcano may appear or change in appearance and temperature.

　　(4) A number of people are studying ways in which to use satellite data to monitor volcanoes. It is possible to obtain thermal images of volcanic areas, and by comparing images on a monthly or bi-weekly basis,increases or decreases in temperatures can be detected. Additionally,some new technologies have allowed for the determination of very accurate topography from satellite data. This technology may someday allow for the remote monitoring of surface deformation associated with sub-surface magma movement. This process is still being developed. It usually takes too long to get satellite data processed for this technique to be useful in a rapidly-escalating crisis so it would be used over the long term, in the years to months prior to an eruption rather than the hours prior.

　　Lecture 2: Europe history 讲欧洲封建制度(Feudalism)。欧洲封建制度的是农民和贵族之间的关系，农民以向贵族地主交租以换取他们的保护(有题)。这形成了等级制度。农民向地主交租一般是以实物的形式，首先当时纸很贵，而且货币一般是商人使用，因为农民不需要用货币来换取粮食啥的(有题，问农民为什么不用money)。但是现在有人对封建制度的提出了和以前不一样的看法，认为现在的土地制度是对以前封建制度的发展，而不是推翻(有题)。

　　Task4
